Perrysburg Twp. posts 2013 fire/EMS statistics
By Jane Maiolo
For
the
Perrysburg
Township
Fire/EMS
Department, 2013 was a very
busy year.
At the February 5 board of
trustees meeting, Fire Chief
Tom Brice presented the
2013 fire/EMS report. The
fire chief noted that calls
were up by 58 from the previous year.
The township had 1,700
runs in 2013, compared to
1,642 in 2012. Those include
1,395 (82 percent) calls for
EMS, and 305 (18 percent)
for fires.
Of the calls for emergency
medical services, 82 percent
were for injuries and illnesses. Other calls were falls,
170; multivehicle accident,
152; heart problems, 135;
breathing problems, 124;
trauma, 66, and unconscious,
65.
“Our medical direction is
provided by Dr. Tom Boggs,
D.O., a board-certified physician in emergency medicine,”
said the chief. “We function
as an extension of the emergency department, and have
the equipment to care for
everything from a sprained
ankle to a full cardiac arrest.”
He noted that patients
requiring transport are taken
to one of nine area hospitals.
“We generally try to transport
patients to the hospital of
their choice.”
Certain situations call for
patients to be transported to a
specific hospital. “If a patient
is suffering from a heart
attack, in almost all cases
they will be taken to St.
Luke’s Hospital because of
its proximity and cardiac
services available,” he
explained.
Last year, the EMS also
assigned Captain Paul Weist
and firefighter/paramedic
Troy Bernhard to the
Northern Regional Special
Weapons and Tactics (SWAT)
unit.
The chief said the men
received 40 hours of additional training at the Bowling
Green State University Fire
School on how to deal with
battlefield type injuries.
“In the event of a SWAT
deployment, these two paramedics would accompany the
unit to deal with injuries or
illnesses,” he said.
The EMS department also
continued to provide CPR
training under Captain Mike
Vajen. “Last year, 26 classes
were held educating nearly
150 people in first aid and
CPR,” the chief said, adding
that the department hosted
external instructors who
taught an additional 40 classes.
“In all we educated nearly
300 people.”
Classes are offered for
$30 per student, he said, and,
anyone interested in taking a
course is asked to contact
Captain Vajen at 419-8723958.
With regard to the fire
department, the chief said the
majority of the 305 calls pertained to alarms with 121,
followed by 41 open burns
and 38 structure fires.
The department also
responded to 14 vehicle fires,
11 appliance fires, 10 grass
fires and four electrical fires.
“During all of these
responses there were no civilian casualties, and we did not
suffer any injuries to any of
our personnel at fire scenes,”
Chief Brice said. “We also
were very fortunate that none
of the fires were deemed to
be of a suspicious nature.”
In 2013 Fire Inspector
Keith Feeney conducted
more than 400 inspections
and found about 1,300 violations.
“The most common were
for electrical hazards, exit
signs/lights, fire extinguishers, improper storage and
door obstructions,” said the
chief.
In his report, Chief Brice
also noted that mutual aid
with neighboring departments is going well and
“making all of our communities a safer place to live.”
The township has automatic aid agreements with
the cities of Perrysburg and
Rossford and Lake and Troy
townships.
“Last year, we received
auto-aid from our partners 21
times and provided it 36
times.”
The fire/EMS depart-
ment continues to collect a
portion of its operating budget through EMS billing,
explained the chief.
“Last we year, we collected $371,232,” he said, noting
that two years ago, the township
contracted
with
Medicount Management of
Cincinnati to handle EMS
billing. Terms of the agreement call for the company to
retain 7 percent of whatever
is collected.
In 2013, the department
also implemented a billing
system for motor vehicle
accidents (MVA) to help
recoup some of the costs.
“Every year our department responds to over 100
calls for motor vehicle accidents, and many of these
involve people who are not
township residents,” Chief
Brice said. “In our first year,
we collected over $8,000
through MVA billing.”
The chief’s report also
included:
•The
retirement
of
Captain Brian Bugbee and
volunteer firefighter Frank
Vallas, who were with the
department for 23 and 28
years respectively. “Both of
these men will be missed.”
•Promotions of Captain
Jim Rodriguez to deputy
chief and Matt Homik and
Mike Vajen to captains.
•An announcement that
the department received several grants including one for
$38,000, from the Bureau of
Workers’
Compensation,
used to purchase auto-cot
loaders for two ambulances.
•An update on department
training. Personnel completed more than 3,000 hours of
training.
Among the topics covered
were emergency vehicle driving, pump operations, hazardous material, rope rescue,
structural firefighting, airway
management, trauma, medical emergencies, pediatrics
and geriatrics.
Administrator discusses partnerships
and city’s continued financial stability
Rossford City Administrator Ed Ciecka was the guest
speaker at the Rossford Business Association’s January
luncheon meeting, which was held at Hollywood Casino.
Mr. Ciecka, who has served for 10 years as city administrator, said he is proud of Rossford’s financial stability
during and following the recent economic depression.
“The city did not run a deficit and we’re not going
bankrupt,” he said. “It’s so important for a city to understand where it is in its ability to sustain itself.”
City officials are committed to providing a high level
of service to the community, he told the 70-some RBA
members and guests in attendance.
“So Rossford can be a profitable place to grow and do
business,” Mr. Ciecka added.
He also noted the city has established successful
partnerships with the RBA, Rossford Convention and
Visitors Bureau, Rossford Public Library and Rossford
Beautification Committee.
The city administrator said Rossford also is working
with Rossford Schools and area communities on regional projects for more sharing of resources.

Treasurer Cindi Selz.
By Beth Church
A hearing last week concerning the pending demolition of the deteriorated house
at 545 Glenwood Road has
been continued until next
week.
Louis Bauer, owner of the
property, is appealing a demolition order by the city.
Mr. Bauer, a former
Rossford mayor who now
lives in Perrysburg, presented his appeal to the city nuisance appeals board at a
February 7 hearing.
Attorney Rex Huffman,
who chairs the nuisance
appeals board, said the purpose of the hearing is to
determine whether the property is dangerous or a public
nuisance, and to decide if
more than 30 days should be
granted to Mr. Bauer to abate
the nuisance.
Mr. Bauer said he was
concerned about the procedures of the hearing and that
criminal charges may be
pending against him.
“This is not a claim that
government can’t control private property,” he said. “But
that we have certain privileges and rights under the
law. We need to address
problems reasonably.”
For more than an hour,
Mr. Bauer questioned City
Administrator Ed Ciecka
about a series of notices to
abate a nuisance issued by
the city during the past year.
The notices were issued
August 22, October 8 and
October 31.
The notices ordered Mr.
Bauer to complete the following:
•Repair the structural
frame of the building.
•Replace all missing siding and repair the exterior so
it is free from holes.
•All bare wood, including
that on the porch, windows
and fascia boards, must have
adequate protective covering.
•The roof must be
repaired with permanent
materials to be weather-tight.
•All windows, doors and
the front porch must be in
good repair.
•The building must be
repaired so it is safe for occupancy.
•The foundation must be
repaired, free of defects with
replacement of missing
blocks and mortar.
The third notice stated
that the city would take
action as of November 12, if
clean up of the property was
not under way.
Mr. Bauer noted that he
had sent a schedule of repairs
by e-mail to Mr. Ciecka last
fall, but the city administrator did not respond.
The property owner
claims that Rossford’s code
section 1327.039(a) gives
him the right to repair his
property, if it is “reasonable.”
Mr. Ciecka agreed that he
did not respond to the proposed schedule.
“I was not going to accept
your schedule, based on the
nuisance that’s existed and
the time it’s existed,” he
explained.
“After the number of
years this building has been
under consideration by the
health department and the
city, and that has not been
complied with, I didn’t judge
that it was reasonable.”
In 2012, Mr. Bauer was
found guilty in Perrysburg
Municipal Court of 360
counts of violating the Ohio
Building Code at the
Glenwood house.
The charges stemmed
from an investigation by the
Wood
County
Health
Department that first began
The house at 545 Glenwood Road, is owned by former
mayor Louis Bauer.
in 2003.
The 360 counts covered
violations such as roof shingles and soffit missing, windows inoperable, a basement
window missing, foundation
deteriorating, gaps between
the boards of the porch and
holes in the walls.
Mr. Bauer pointed out that
another Rossford code section prevents the city from
ordering demolition of a nuisance if repairs are being
made.
Mr. Ciecka responded, “If
you were making progress on
the building, the city would
not be seeking demolition of
the building.”
Mr. Bauer said his schedule of repairs included a
timeline of work through
May 2014, and he promised
that within three weeks the
front of the house would be
repaired.
The city administrator
said he does not believe the
outline was reasonable “considering the condition of the
property.”
“We saw no work at the
house,” he added.
Due to the length of the
hearing, Mr. Huffman asked
if he could meet with Mr.
Bauer and the city attorneys
to reach some agreements
and narrow the testimony,
and they agreed.
The city was represented
at the hearing by Law
Director Kevin Heban and
attorney Kent Murphree.
The board decided to continue the hearing at 11 a.m.,
Tuesday, February 18, at the
municipal building, 133
Osborn Street.
The
other
nuisance
appeals board members are
Pat Murtha, Jim Richards,
Ryan Stautzenbach of the
Rossford Fire Department
and Steve Mochon of the
Wood County building
inspector’s office.
Also attending the hearing were four city council
members,
Mayor
Neil
MacKinnon III, Fire Chief
Jim Verbosky, Assistant
Chief Josh Drouard and
Zoning Inspector Mark
Zuchowski–many of whom
were to be called upon for
testimony at the hearing.
Three-way commissioner’s race likely
By Beth Church
A three-way Republican
race for Wood County
Commissioner likely will face
voters in the May primary
election.

School year extended four days
With the closure of Rossford Schools on
February 5, the district has accumulated nine
calamity days–or four days beyond the allotted five.
“If nothing would change as of February 6,
we would have the four additional days to
make up,” Superintendent Dan Creps said.
The current plan to make up the days is to
add them to the end of the school year calendar, he explained.
Assuming no more changes occur, the last
day for students would be Thursday, June 5,
and the last day for teachers, Friday, June 6.
“This is the situation as it stands today, and
I ask that everyone be prepared and plan
accordingly should this be the direction we
need to take in order to meet the legal requirements,” Mr. Creps said.
He noted that state legislation has been
introduced in Columbus that could provide an
additional four calamity days–for this year
only–to districts.
If approved, the school calendar would be
revised, Mr. Creps added.
On January 30, State Senator Randy
Gardner announced that a bill extending the
number of calamity days by four has passed
an Ohio House committee and will now go to
the full House.
If the bill passes the House, it will then go
to the Senate for approval, he said, adding that
the bill is moving quickly.
On January 27, Ohio Governor John
Kasich asked the General Assembly and state
Department of Education to work together on
legislation providing a one-time increase in
the number of days that schools can take off
because of snow or bad weather.
The governor said a one-time increase of
just a few days is needed due to the unusually
severe winter weather this year, which has
resulted in many Ohio schools already
using–or close to using–their five allowable
“calamity” days.
“School closures can be an inconvenience,
but student safety always comes first. Many
schools have already hit the maximum number of snow days, or will soon. And if they
exceed it and have to extend the school year,
it can wreak havoc with schools’ budgets and
schedules,” he said.
Ohio law allows schools five “calamity”
days each year before they must start adding
days to the school year.

Derek Mack drops 32 on Woodmore Wildcats
Bulldogs shut down Fostoria Redmen, 73-18
By Michael Krieger
Rossford’s Derek Mack
fueled a potent offensive
evening scoring 32 points as
the Bulldogs crushed Woodmore, 78-45 on February 4.
Mack’s decisive individual performance set the tone
early for RHS. He scored 13
of the team’s 15 points in the
first quarter and lifted the
Bulldogs to a seven-point
lead that they never relinquished.
He remained on fire
through the second period
and finished the half with 24
points.
For the game, he was 11
for 14 from the field and
added six rebounds and four
steals to go with the scoring
barrage.
After Mack’s first half
performance, the Bulldogs
went into the locker room
with a 33-26 lead.
To open the second half,
senior Mack Miller added 11
points of his own. His streak
occurred during a threeminute stretch when the
Bulldogs went on a 19-0 run
and ran the score to 52-26
before Woodmore’s Drew
Lewandowski knocked down
a three for the Wildcats’ only
score of the period.
The Bulldogs then ran off
10 more points to finish the
quarter leading 62-29.
Early in the fourth quarter, Rossford went to the
bench, inserting players used
to seeing action in the JV
games, to seal the victory.
Both teams played even for
the remainder of the contest,
but the damage was already
done and Rossford prevailed.
Rossford vs. Fostoria
On Friday, the Bulldogs
returned home to face the
Fostoria Redmen.
Despite freezing temperatures outdoors, the Bulldog
defense turned up the heat,
icing the Redmen 73-18 for
one of the most lopsided victories in years.
The Bulldogs dominated
the game right from the
opening tip when Miller
passed to Mack, who connected for a three-pointer
from the corner to open the
scoring.
From there, RHS didn’t
look back as the team embarked on a 22-2 run. Fostoria did not get their second
basket until 1:10 remained in
the first quarter.
Leading 26-4, Rossford
opened the second quarter
Mack Miller added 11 points during a three-minute stretch in the Woodmore game.
with two quick scores in the
paint from Brian Burks to
highlight another 10-0 run.
The Bulldogs utilized a
balanced attack on offense
throughout the game, but the
real story was defense. They
continually turned back Fostoria, causing poor shot selection and turnovers.
The Bulldogs converted
in transition to easily break
the game open with a 40-9
lead at the half.
The defensive prowess
was particularly evident in
the third quarter when the
Bulldogs held Fostoria
scoreless in the period.
Leading 61-9, Coach
Brian Vorst went to his bench
early in the fourth quarter.
The Redmen finally broke
their scoring drought at 6:35
remaining in the game but
only managed nine points afterward against a Rossford
line-up entirely of JV players.
Derek Mack led all scorers with 16 points while
Burks was a force inside,
scoring 11 points and pulling
down 8 rebounds. Miller also
chipped in 10 points mostly
from the perimeter.
At the end of the game,
Coach Vorst commented that
the Bulldogs have been play-
ing great defense lately.
“We’re getting a lot of
leadership on both ends of
the floor, from all of our kids,
not just our seniors. Everyone
is stepping up,” he added.
Rossford runs its overall
record to 12-4 and 9-1 in the
NBC.
The wins last week set up
a key contest at Lake for
what was to be the conference title on Tuesday, February 11.
Then the Bulldogs travel
to Genoa to play the Comets
tomorrow evening. The JV
game begins at 6 p.m. and
the varsity follows.

ROSSFORD RECORD JOURNAL — February 13, 2014 — Page 3
Businesses sought to participate in RBA Fair
Local businesses are invited to participate in the Rossford Business Association’s
ninth annual Business Fair.
The Business Fair will
take place on Saturday,
March 22, at Owens Community College in the Student
Health and Activities Center
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Participation fees are
$110 for RBA members and
$160 for non-members.
Registrations will be
accepted on a first-come,
first-served basis.
Business Fair co-chairman
Justin Knierim of Edward
Jones Investments said the
planning committee is hoping
that 80 businesses will participate this year.
This will be the third year
for the Business Fair to take
place at Owens, Mr. Knierim
said.
“The location offers us
handicap accessibility, ample
parking, all vendors in one
location, a larger food selection for our attendees, and a
separate area for the entertainment,” he explained.
The additional space also
allows the fair to grow each
year, Mr. Knierim said.
“Since I’ve been involved
the last seven years, the number of businesses has expanded,” he said.
Mr. Knierim encouraged
businesses to send in their
reservations early to secure a
spot at this year’s fair.
The executive committee
planning the event with Mr.
Knierim includes co-chair
Brenda Schwind of Directions Credit Union, Ray
Miller of Miller Younker
Group and Dr. Angela Jackson of Quality Family Eyecare.
“The Business Fair offers
RBA members and other
businesses the opportunity to
showcase their products and
services to a large group of
people for a very small cost,”
Mr. Knierim explained.
“The businesses get the
chance to speak with potential and existing customers
one-on-one, thereby offering
the best scenario for gaining
new customers and additional
sales to existing customers.”
An emphasis on doing
business locally is important
as the economy continues to
recover, he added.
“In today’s tight economy,
many businesses are searching for more cost effective
ways to get their message to
potential clients,” he said.
“We believe the Rossford
Business Fair gives them a
great venue.”
The business fair will feature giveaway items for visitors and entertainment.
Businesses are invited to
make a donation to the fair as
a Gold, Silver or Bronze
sponsor.
The Gold level is $1,000,
Silver is $500 and Bronze is
$250.

Police dept. donates books to library
The Rossford Police Department has
donated hardcover books and audio
books to the Rossford Public Library that
were confiscated after a recent theft case.
More than $2,500 of materials had
been stolen from stores between Chicago
and the Toledo area, but police said none
could be traced back to any of the victims.
Pictured are Library Director Jeannine
Wilbarger accepting the donation from
Rossford Chief of Police Glenn Goss.
“We are pleased to receive these
materials, and we will certainly utilize as
many as possible within the Rossford
library, however since there are several
duplicates, we will offer to share these
resources with partner libraries in our
consortium,” Mrs. Wilbarger said.
“Some of the newer titles will make
nice Summer Reading Club prizes for
adults,” she explained.

Twenty-four carvers to compete for national championship
Winterfest 2014 evening event tickets and ice sculptures available
With only 10 days to
go, the streets of downtown Perrysburg will come
alive with excitement, family-fun activities, ice carvings of every imaginative
design and two nights of
music, food and favorite
craft beers and wines.
Downtown Perrysburg,
Inc. (DPI) along with Ed
Schmidt will present the
annual Winterfest, a
National Ice Carving Association (NICA) sanctioned
event on Friday, February
21, Saturday, February 22,
and Sunday, February 23.
Perrysburg Winterfest
will host the National Ice
Carving Championship
competition. Twenty-four
first class master and professional ice carvers will
compete for $5,000 of
prize money and the
national title and then display their ice creations.
There will be two
rounds of competition. The
first round, carving a oneblock ice creation, will be
Friday, February 21 from 6
to 8 p.m. The second round
will be Saturday from noon
to 4 p.m. and use two
blocks of ice.
Each final ice creation
will be professionally
judged and results will be
announced Saturday 8:30
p.m. during the wine tasting.
In addition to the ice
carving competition, there
will be ice carvings sponsored by area businesses
and organizations on both
sides of Louisiana Avenue
for public viewing.
“Last year the pieces
were conversation starters
and essentially advertising
that would pay for itself in
word of mouth,” said Rick
Thielen, DPI executive
director. “The design possibilities are limitless that
can create whatever mood
you want–elegant, dramatic, fun or functional. A
logo, intricately carved
sculpture displays or artwork is not a problem.”
Community ice carvings
are $300 per block of ice
that includes two tickets to
the wine tasting.
New in Winterfest 2014
will be the creation of a
“community ice wall”
made up of individual 5”x
8” blocks of ice that can be
engraved per the donor’s
wish.
The cost is $20 for each
block. The wall will be
located in front of the
Commodore Perry monument and lit for night-time
viewing.
“We are really excited
about this new twist to
Winterfest–it is a unique
opportunity for everyone
to feel like they are a part

Ice carvings sponsored by area businesses and organizations will line Louisiana

ice and include two tickets to the wine tasting.

Each Life is a Song
A life is like a song we
write in our own time and
key. Each life we write reflects a note that forms a
melody. We choose the theme
and chorus of the songs to
bear our name. And each will
have a special sound, no two
can be the same. So when
someone we love departs, in
memory we find, their song
plays on within the hearts of
those they left behind. The
quiet places of our hearts are
filled with sweet echoes of
your life song.
Fifty years have not
dimmed your life song. You continue to be loved dearly,
missed deeply and remembered fondly by family and friends.
You are forever in our hearts.
Rest peacefully with Dad.

In his spare time, he enjoyed boating and being

Brethren will sponsor a blood
drive on Saturday, February
15, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., in
the Fellowship Hall located at
27009 Lemoyne Road, Millbury. Appointments can be
scheduled until 1:45 p.m., and
walk-ins may present until 2
p.m.
Donors must be at least 17
years of age, in good general
health and weigh at least 110

pounds. Participants must not
have donated blood since December 21.
Donors should eat three

The American Red Cross
is especially encouraging

units of blood are needed
daily to meet the demands of
the region’s hospitals.

Glenwood Elementary students learn about therapy dogs
Even though the cold has kept students at
Glenwood Elementary School from going outside, they recently had some visitors agree to
come inside for a visit.
Certified therapy dogs and their handlers,
from Serenity Farm Equestrian Center, visited
the students for an educational visit, including
an opportunity to work on reading and writing.
Kindergarten and first grade students
learned about the therapy dogs, asked questions and led the dogs through obstacle
courses.
Mrs. Belviso’s reading intervention groups
created graphic organizers such as Venn Diagrams and KWL charts which included the following information: what we want to learn, what
questions we have and what we have learned.
The students also used their reading and writing skills to compose thank you notes after the
visit.
Pictured are students enjoying their visitors.
Reading dogs are available at the Rossford Library
on Monday evenings in
February.
Children may sign up to
read to their favorite dog for
a 15-minute time slot between 6:45 and 7:45 p.m.
This program is free and
open to all students. It is especially helpful in encouraging young readers who
may be reluctant to read
aloud.
